LOUISVILLE, KY, october l9.-Tte second days
session OF the Protestant Episcopal Church Con-
gress OF the United States opened this
morning at LeiderkranZ Hall with large
attendance. The auditorium b the largest

hall and galleries were crowded and when the
proceedings began standing roomwas not obtain

Bishop Dudley called The assenblage 10 order
and read the opening prayer. The SEC
rotary announced that the tpic, "The pro-
posal to change the name u the church,"
would be discussed at the evening session. Bishop
Dudley then announced the tOpt and introduced
the first writer the Rev. Geo. L. locke, OF Bristol,
X. L He said that fair maJorlU OF women, as OF
men, were capable OF receiving the
higher education. He Inferred TO the
University OF Michigan, where the women
were educated IN all the highr branches. No
more OF them broke DOWN and uey showed more
enthusiasm. The argument nat the minds
OF women should not be developed more than
their muscles, in order that they might be-
come masculine, was neither a god M0hammedan
nor Christian doctrine. WOnnnS suffrage was
q possibility Of the future.

COAL FAMINE IN IRELAND. - An Indianapolis
special to the New York Tribune says: There Is q
great alarm In Indianapolis and neighboring towns
over the scarcity Of coal The dealers declare that
there is not ve days supply on hand, and besides
week they refuse to receive orders except upon the
condition that the miners supply them. There Is
much feeling against the railroads, because II Is
transportation OF The winter supply OF fuel The
alarm Is intensified by the announcement that the
supply is short at the mines In the anthracite
region, and orders will not be received at present
Another bad feature OF the situation Is the suspen-
sion OF work In the Southern Indiana mines on
account OF the strikes and the fact that the low
water In the Ohio River prevented the usual trans
DOrtatiOn IN that way.

Promises Like Pie Crust
HOW TIE WESTERN UNION TELR0RAPH MONOPOLY
KEKPs ITS WORD.

From the New York Times. to-day.
When, eleven days ago, the governing ofncials
Of the Western Union Telegraph Co said that
there would be no material advance In rates con-
seQuent upon their absorption OF the Baltimore and
Ohio Telegraph Co. into their system nobody be-
leved them. That they would raise the rates
was expected That hey would stop at an ad-
vance OF 5 cents on some OF the existing 10-cent
rates was not expected. II was hardly expected
that they would stop short Of making the advance
they buy up their chief and almost sole competitor
Was it only that they might enjoy the honors OF
% nj On s
was IL IN order 10 destroy all competition and,
achieving the coin OF vantage 10 assume dictatora
Serday PRESIDENT Green sent out notces to ali the
managers on Baltimore and Ohio lines 20 make
their rates conform TO those OF the Western Union
Company. At the same time IL was said that the
Chicago rate, which for some time has been Is
cents for 10 words, has been raised 10 so cents
While thus endeayoring TO increase their reve-
nue. they were not unmindful or the expense end
OF their budget. Notices were sent 10 the en-
ployes OF the late Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph
GO that aftsr sneG services S9 x INC no
action thrown out OF employment, matter which
cannot, OF course, concern the Western Union Tel
praph Co. which has all the assistants IL needs.
Thus are the declarations OF the Western Union
managers that rates would not be Increased being
verified! But capital like death, loves shining
mark and there shines no mark more provocative

"Why, could have sent one yesterday for Is
WHY should it cost so much more to-day?"
.'Oh, yer see this is western Union ONCE now,
and yer hes ter pay accordin. The tariff was
raised to-day" was the explanation Of the young
Ster.
But Il was not the raise In the tarin that made
the boys look blue. One OF the boys explained
that the 'fellows" had been informed that after
November 1 their services would be no longer
needed The western Union had no use for them
after that time. They had also received orders,
he said to make all their business methods con-
form TO those OF the Western Union.
In its orders to the Baltimore and Ohio managers
the western Union omitted one thing which some
OF those who heard Of IL think somewhat signin-
can't. This was In regard TO the cable business
which the Baltimore and Ohio people turned over
10 the Commercial Gable Co. This, II II said. was
worth 5000 day. No orders were given yester-
day TO transfer this 70 the western Union connoc
tons but It was suffered TO continue In the Old
